Whistleblowing

Viking is committed to operating responsibly and with respect for people, society and the environment, both in our own business and throughout our supply chain. Despite our due diligence efforts, we recognise that negative impacts may occur in any part of our value chain.

We want anyone affected by our business to be able to report concerns safely, confidentially and without fear of retaliation. In addition to internal routines for employees and grievance mechanisms at our suppliers, Viking offers an independent external whistleblowing channel. The channel is open to employees, suppliers, supply chain workers, affected communities and other stakeholders. We take all reports seriously and assess each one individually.

Reporting procedure

The channel is operated by the third-party provider HR-huset AS. Reports can be submitted by email to varsel@hrhuset.no. Please describe the matter as clearly as possible, including when and where it took place and who was involved.

All reports are handled confidentially by a case officer at HR-huset. You may choose to remain anonymous, in which case we recommend using an email address that does not reveal your identity.

Once a report is received, HR-huset will assess it and contact the primary contact person at Viking. If that person is the subject of the report, another contact person will be informed. Please note that Viking, consulted by the case officer, makes the final decision on any measures to be taken.
